Indicators
An element with atomic symbol Fe, atomic number 26, and atomic weight 55.85.
Indicators
A dark orange, yellow pigment that is the product of the breakdown of iron in the blood; it is conjugated in the liver and excreted in the bile.
Indicators
Ceruloplasmin (1065 aa, ~122 kDa) is encoded by the human CP gene. This protein is involved in iron homeostasis.
Indicators
The body’s iron-storage protein measurable in serum — the most informative single test of iron stores.
Indicators
Haptoglobin (406 aa, ~45 kDa) is encoded by the human HP gene. This protein plays a role in tight junction disassembly, intestinal permeability, heme iron recycling, antimicrobial activity and the regulation of hydrogen peroxide catabolism.
Indicators
Lactotransferrin (710 aa, ~78 kDa) is encoded by the human LTF gene. This protein is involved in the mediation of both proteolysis and iron transport.
Indicators
A product of hemoglobin produced by oxidation of the iron atom from the ferrous to the ferric state.
Indicators
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (198 aa, ~23 kDa) is encoded by the human LCN2 gene. This protein may play a role in iron transport, apoptosis, and innate immunity.
Indicators
Serotransferrin (698 aa, ~77 kDa) is encoded by the human TF gene. This protein is involved in iron sequestration and transport.
Indicators
This gene plays a role in electron transport in the mitochondria.
